Mt Comfort Elementary School

Q: Is Mt Comfort Elementary School a good school?

Mt Comfort Elementary School ranks 531 st of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mt Comfort Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenfield, Indiana, serving around 650 students in grades K-5. As part of the Mt Vernon Community School Corporation, which is ranked 79 out of 381 school districts in the state, Mt Comfort has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mt Comfort's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, the school stands out in a few key areas. It has a higher percentage of white students (66%) compared to the more diverse nearby schools, such as those in the MSD Lawrence Township and MSD Warren Township districts. However, Mt Comfort has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.9% in 2020-2021 to 22.3% in 2021-2022, before dropping to 10.0% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $9,082 in 2018-2019 to $10,419 in 2021-2022, higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Mt Comfort's performance is mixed. While its test scores are generally lower than the highly-rated McCordsville Elementary, also part of the Mt Vernon district, they are higher than the schools in the MSD Lawrence Township and MSD Warren Township districts. However, Mt Comfort's statewide ranking has declined from 234 out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 531 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 3-star rating. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
